    Introducing, Sonic – our camper of the month for March! He is a 1-year-old Cane Corso mixed with Mastiff and he is the SWEETEST boy! Sonic is the most laid back, wiggly and goofy man who never fails to make us smile. On his interview day a few weeks ago, his spunky attitude made him so many friends! He immediately got in a play bow stance and wanted to be chased, which he did all day! Now when Sonic comes for daycare, he plays from the minute he steps paw in the door to the minute he leaves for the day! He is the pup who breaks everyone out of their shell, making the large dog yard lots of fun on the days he is at Camp. Sonic has made the absolute perfect addition to the pack and we cannot wait to see him more often!

    Congratulations to our member of the month for March - Gus! He is a 6-month-old baby Bernedoodle (Bernese Mountain dog/poodle) who is the happiest man.

Gus has already grown like a weed since we met him, and we can’t wait to continue to watch him grow and flourish. He has made so many furry friends during his short time here, but his best friend has to be Ares, an Australian Shepherd. They both chase each other inside and outside for hours on end, only pausing for a quick drink! Gus is the missing puzzle piece to our Camp Bow Wow family and we are so happy to him!

Amber has built a relationship with every dog that comes in, showing them so much love and patience. Outside of camp, Amber also has 3 cats - Wednesday, Wild Cat & Chain chomp.

    We are excited to announce that Javacia Rowe is April's Camp Counselor of the month! Jay started working at our Pittsburgh North location a few months ago and has nothing but impressed up since!

Some of her other favorite dogs include Steel, Falcon, Otto, and Kit Kat! Jay does not have any dogs of her own, but she does have 2 cats at home named Catsanova and Nadia. Jay's favorite thing about working at Camp is how much time we spend with the dogs, she says she learns something new here every day, and she really likes her fellow staff members!

He is one of those dogs that has the most perfect personality where he can play with any dog, big or small, shy or outgoing. One special thing about Groot is that he is always on the go, and never wants to take a break. From the minute he steps paw in the door to the minute the doorbell rings for him to go home, he is playing from start to finish. When he is let out of the gate at the end of the day, he jumps back on the fence begging for just 5 more minutes of play time. Groot’s happy go lucky personality never fails to put a smile on our faces. Thanks for being such a cool pup Groot, you make the perfect fit for our furry pack!

  • March 2022 Counselor of the Month

    Mike Shaffer

    We are so excited to announce that Mike Shaffer has been awarded the Camp Counselor of the Month for March! Mike has worked at our East location for 2 years and our camp has gone nowhere but up ever since. He has never called off a shift and always does what is expected of him. He goes above and beyond before his shift is over, and always comes into work with a clear and open mind. Mike has a bond with the campers like no other, and being around so many dogs that love him so much is the reason why he has such a passion for this job. One of our campers, Lila, is so attached to Mike that her owner said that if she ever had to give her away, Mike would be the one who got her. It's so amazing to see the relationships he builds with dogs and how attached they have gotten to him. That is the type of bond we want our counselors to have with our campers. Mike has a pup of his own, Molly, a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix who is attached to him at the hip. Some interesting things about Mike is that outside of work not only does he make his own music, he also installs swimming pools! Mike truly has put such a positive influence on our camp and we couldn't be more thankful that we have him as a part of our Camp Bow Wow family.
